screaming crying throwing up!!!!
this book was written so well.
I recommend this to anyone.

Listened to the whole book in one work day on audio. While I'm glad I was able to do this and not have to put the book down (it was very enjoyable), I also think this may be a book to re-read in the future, and perhaps read the paper copy. The narrator was very good, and I liked the voice of the main character Christopher, but there were occasional passages of Christopher's thoughts on random sort of "big" topics that I found poignant and would like to re-visit and think about.

This was a very interesting look at life from the view of one with Asperger's/autism. The behavioral traits shown are certainly in line with this, though it may be impossible to actually be in the mind of someone with autism and convey this in text. I think this portrayal of Christopher's struggles is a good snapshot--I think Haddon was able to very effectively show how Christopher's parents lived/dealt with him on a day to day basis.

I'm not sure how I feel overall. I liked Christopher and I don't think I had any pity for him, which I wondered if I would going into it.
